Can You Hear Me?

Inspired by the Story of Silvestre Martinez, Jr ( RIP) 
Helped by Adrian Blanco


Can you hear me when I cry 
When I pray for you at night. 
I wish you were here 
And it just wasn’t right 
For you to be taken from us . 
To no longer be apart. 
Of all of our lives. 
It breaks all of our hearts. 
I miss the way we joked. 
You made everyone laugh. 
I loved you baby brother. 
Through the good times and the bad 
I know that your  here 
Watching over us everyday. 
Making sure that the family and I are doing OK 
You were a true friend to anyone 
You had a romantic soul. 
I loved all of your poems . 
Even though I never told you so 
I wish I could go back . 
And change everything about the past.. 
And be a big sister . 
And always have your back.. 
So many people judged us . 
But never could see. 
We were just like everyone else 
Just suffering from disease 
Without you baby brother 
I feel so alone.. 
I love you so much .. 
With all of my Corazon. 
Can U Hear Me?
